[IND803] The Journey to Digital Transformation: Securing Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and Operational Technology (OT)
Time
3:15 PM - 4:30 PM
Location Name
Southern Hemisphere I
Description
A system crash on a manufacturing floor can stall production for hours and potentially cost a company millions in ruined product. Even worse, having to reset an open furnace or a 10,000-gallon boiler processing caustic chemicals can have far more devastating consequences than temporarily losing access to an online printer. Because the primary goals of an OT environment are ensuring the safety of employees and local communities and ensuring the constant availability and uptime of the network, connected devices, applications, and industrial control systems are often not consistently updated. In this interactive session, experts will discuss security without compromising availability or safety so important to operational technology and critical infrastructure security. Hear from Deutche Telekom and Alaska Airlines discussing lessons learned and how their experience can be leveraged to successfully secure OT environments. The session will also cover how the Fortinet Fabric solution will protect and defend the control system vulnerabilities in industries such as manufacturing, energy, utilities and transportation.
